Maybe We'll Make It After All {Sequel to What If? ~ Louis Tomlinson Fan Fic}

Chapter 30 - Firework

I said as I left, thank god I got through to him without having to lie badly. I mean, I'm just trying to make sure that Roxy is alright! It's not like we actually are dating. And if we were, why would we have to hide it? It's not like any of the other guys have those kind of feelings for her! Besides, Luke and Calum have girlfriends. So that leaves just me... And Michael of course. He hasn't had a girlfriend since... Wait a second... Did Michael ever have a girlfriend?

Anyways. I made it to the park as I parked my car beside hers. I saw her waiting for me on a park bench. I nudged her shoulder as she reacted and almost fell of the bench.

"I didn't mean to startle you."

I laughed as I sat next to her. She looked extremely upset.

"What's wrong?"

I asked her as she was face down,

"Did you cut yourself today?"

She looked at me with red eyes and shook her head.

"Don't lie to me Roxanne. If you did, just say it. Because I know you did."

I said as she looked at me weirdly,

"You've got blood on the sweater where your wrist is."

Her eyes widened as she pulled down the sleeve revealing the cuts.

"Ashton!"

She smacked me,

"I'm sorry for lying. But you need to be honest with me."

I took out a black sharpie and took her hand and placed it on me lap.

"Ash? What are you doing?"

She asked me as I started drawing a butterfly around the cuts.

"If I see this butterfly with cuts. I'm going to have let secrets out. Final warning."

She sighed as she pulled down her sleeve and took out her phone,

"I wanted this to be a surprise for you but I need to tell at least one of you guys in 5sos so you know what to do."

I looked at her confused,

"Simon Cowell called me. Wayde from the other night at the bar was impressed by you guys and he is teaming up with Simon. You guys are coming with me to Syco records on Monday and recording a track with me as a 'tested' for one of my 'clients'. I'm going to give it to Simon and he will decide what to do with it next."

My eyes widened,

"What? So you're trying to help us get a record deal? Why?"

I asked her happily,

"Because you guys sound great together and you seem like really great guys. And I actually believe in you guys because there are plenty of singers and bands out there that all sing and don't even know how to play any sort of musical instrument. I know I can't play anything either but I'm a songwriter and there's a big difference! And you have your own sound and that's the best part of it all!"

I did agree with her that we did seem like a good band. We all got along really great and we all play our own instruments. We would have a high chance I've gaining fans because I haven't seen a band in a while that all plays an instrument. This is a good influence for young people and older people to pursue their dreams.

"You're right Rox."

I said as I placed my hand on hers.

"And also because I want to do something right in my life before it ends..."

She muttered and I tilted her head up towards me,

"You're not telling me that your going to try and kill yourself?"

I asked her as a few tears rolled down her face,

"Why Roxy? You shouldn't let things affect you so badly. Let things come as an experience. You're more experienced and free when you're off doing what you love. Don't you love songwriting? You're gonna become a singer. Demi, your idol! Is helping you. Don't think that there is nothing to live for! You are worth life Roxanne Dianne! Don't doubt you're reason for being here girly!"

I giggled at the end as she did the same. I got down on one knee infront of her.

"You don't have to feel, like a waste of space.

You're original, cannot be replaced

If you only knew, what the future holds

After a hurricane, comes a rainbow

Maybe you're the reason why, all the doors are closed"

I kept singing as we started dancig around. She giggled as she fell into me. I held her in my arms trying to keep her calm.

"Thanks Ash. You're amazing."

I got a smile out of her as we were surprised to see three boys looking at us awkwardly,

"Hey guys. What are you doing here?"

Roxy asked surprised as we let go of eachother.

"We were wondering why Roxy wouldn't answer us but I guess this is why."

Luke said gesturing to the both of us,

"Guys we were just talking."

I said in defence,

"And dancing, and laughing, and getting too close for comfort."

Calum proceeded as the boys all folded their arms. Michael looking the most pissed off of them all.

"Okay."

I whispered in Roxy's ear,

"At three we run. Okay?"

I repeated as she nodded,

"1,2,3! GO!"

I yelled as Roxy and I linked our hands together and ran off,

"Oh no! You're not doing this to us again!"

We heard Michael scream, yes when I got caught in something; I always counted to three and fleed the situation. The boys were very used to this but they never seemed to be on guard as they struggled to keep up with us. Roxy and I fell into a bush as we both giggled. I noticed that she was straddling me as I got up.

"Well, I guess you want me that much. Go ahead, just don't be loud enough for the boys to hear."

I joked with her as she playfully hit my chest,

"It's the way I fell on you. Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression Irwin."

She joked back as I stuck my tongue out at her.

Hello! Okay, I know my latest chapters really suck B**** but please stick with me until the end. I swear it will be worth it! Stay strong lovelies xx
